Parking and Building Access
Is close to back to normal for you. We have our sidewalk back, and
all of the No Parking signs apply only from 7 AM to 4 PM, so parking
should actually be easier than usual for evening visitors.
Cantabile gets nationwide publicity
The American Recorder
magazing Fall issue has a paragraph about our
walk for hunger performance. They say:
During the May 6 Walk for Hunger in the Boston (MA) area, 43,000
people walked a 20-mile course, raising over three million dollars to
fund soup kitchens, food pantries and community gardens. At many
stations, entertainment is provided for walkers resting their weary
bones. Since 1999, Cantabile Band (www.laymusic.org/renband.html) has
provided entertainment at Mile 13, a beautiful spot on the Charles
River. This year, seven band members sang and played recorder, fiddle
and viol on a program including Morley, Dowland, Holborne, Wilbye and
Ravenscroft.Playing out of doors for that length of time is challenging, with the
wind and noise (motorcycles, boomboxes, helicopters, amplified
directions to boats racing on the river…). Cantabile members bring
lots of clothespins, and have invested in tent pegs and ground staples
to keep music stands from blowing over.
They also included a picture of
me and Ishmael playing.
